do chickens need grit when they are being fed crumble?

Thanks for all the input!!!

3 were from RIR rooster and RIR hen. I bought the so called Black Rocks from an individual seller. Not a hatchery.

Thanks for the info. I'm an AC Tech. and know little about chicks other then what I've learned in the past with some of my Older chicks I've bought. I had a bout with some getting slow and kinda getting paralyzed then passing away so I learned of Corid which solved that problem. I have bronze...

I hatched them in an incubator. I have vitol I've givin to the other chickens is that a possibility for the chicks?

I was wondering if I need to give my chicks any antibiotics and if so when and what type to use?

Out of 8 eggs I ended up with 3 RIR's and 2 Mutts. I'm pretty pleased.

Just hatched a chick from a Rhode island red rooster and what I was told was a Black rock hen. The hen is black with a little red under her neck. Does anyone know what breed this chick would be? The chick is black with white under its chin and white wing tips.
